Bulge board : version 1

This is my first version of the “bulge”board. I’ve seen some on LJ by several makers. Thanks to you for starting the process!!!

This is the first version : the next one will be endgrain. Now i had a lot of tear-out while drilling the holes. Endgrain seems to be a bit more forgiving.

This board will not leave the shop and will get a place on the “wall of shame”. Just a piece of the shop with projects gone bad. A very good way to make sure to stay humble and keep on trying having fun in the shop.

Really nice bulge effect. Mine hasn’t come out nearly that well. What are your dimensions on the squares and dowels? You also have your pegs closer to the sides so I might have to experiment with that.

I was thinking the same thing, Wall of shame? It looks great from the pics. I do understand we are our own worst critics! Blondie always tells me quit pointing out your mistakes, most people will never see them. Great job!
